This month in Bridging the Gap, we focus on the Fujitsu mobile products. Recently, Fujitsu announced a significant milestone — the 20 millionth personal computer produced by Shimane Fujitsu Limited. It took twelve and a half years to reach the 10 million unit milestone, and only four and a half years to reach 20 million. Designing and building our PCs in Japan gives us much more control over the quality and reliability than our competitors.
At the FOSE Conference and Exposition held in Washington D.C. this week, the Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 notebook won the GCN Best of FOSE Award for the Portable PC category. Given the competition we faced, this was a very significant award.
A recent issue of PC Magazine rated the LifeBook S6150 as one of the greenest PCs currently available. Using brand new benchmarks, the systems were put through extensive testing to measure their environmental-friendliness, and the S6510 scored four out of five, placing it ahead of HP, Apple, and Toshiba.
You’ll also find a link to the “Enhancing Business Mobility with Pen Computing” webcast recently sponsored by TechRepublic. In it, Paul Moore, Senior Director of Product Marketing for Fujitsu Computer Systems, discusses the strides that pen computing has made in the recent past
And those are just some of the highlights. You’re sure to find an article or two of interest. We hope you enjoy this edition of the Bridging the Gap newsletter, and would like you to send us any comments or suggestions for improving it.

This month in Bridging the Gap, we focus on the Fujitsu storage systems and the CentricStor VTL storage solution. As the global effort to go green picks up momentum and as energy costs increase, Fujitsu offers a storage solution that dramatically decreases the energy needs by spinning down infrequently accessed RAID groups. The associated white paper provides a great explanation of the technology.
For those of you who would like an easy-to-understand explanation of the Fujitsu storage systems, we’ve provided a link to a new online video. You will also read about how the University of Delaware relies on the ETERNUS4000 storage systems to perform its mission-critical backups, and how the CentricStor v.4 was named a top VTL market leader.
We’re proud to announce that Fujitsu has been named as one of the top Green-IT Companies for 2008 by ComputerWorld, and you will learn about Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation’s new deal with Tech Data Corporation, which will now offer the Fujitsu line of highly reliable mobile PCs. We’re also proud of the fact that the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) has for the second year in a row, named Keith Swenson, Fujitsu Computer Systems’ vice president of research and development, as the WfMC’s vice chairman (Americas) and technical committee chairman.

The proliferation of “green” technology has become a major concern of the industry. This trend was clearly in evidence at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this month. (Here is a link to more information about our participation in the show). This issue of Bridging the Gap focuses on how Fujitsu is contributing (and has long contributed) to the global environment by incorporating environmental awareness into all levels of the company.
Fujitsu is guided by a set of five core principles which together make up The Fujitsu Way.  “Environment” is one of those five basic principles. Since its founding in 1935, Fujitsu has treated environmental awareness as one of its most important management issues based on our philosophy of “building in harmony with the environment”. Fujitsu is keenly aware of its duties as a global corporate citizen.
In this issue of Bridging the Gap, you will learn how Fujitsu is supporting the environment, including our commitment to reduce cumulative CO₂ emissions by seven million tons between fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2010. Among a variety of other articles, we also discuss the successful efforts by Fujitsu in conforming to Energy Star and EPEAT standards, and our participation in the Climate Savers Computing Initiative.
As always, we hope you enjoy Bridging the Gap, and hope you will share it with associates and send us any suggestions you might have for additional content.
As we kick off 2008, it is with our wishes that yours is a healthy and prosperous year.

This month’s Bridging the Gap focuses on how Fujitsu is contributing to the global environment by incorporating environmental awareness into all levels of the company. “Environment” is one of the five basic values that make up The FUJITSU Way, the set of core principles that guides the corporate and individual actions of the company.
Every year, Fujitsu publishes a Sustainability Report that describes the efforts that the company has taken regarding the environmental and social aspects of its operations. It can’t be overstated how important this issue is to Fujitsu. Since its founding in 1935, Fujitsu has treated environmental awareness as one of its most important management issues based on our philosophy of “building in harmony with the environment”. Fujitsu is keenly aware of its duties as a global corporate citizen.  In this issue of Bridging the Gap, we illustrate several ways in which Fujitsu has dedicated itself to preservation of the globe.
We also discuss Gartner’s ranking of Fujitsu Interstage as a leader in the SOA and BPM Magic Quadrant Reports, and how Fujitsu and Software AG have accelerated their delivery of SOA solutions.
As always, we hope you enjoy Bridging the Gap, and honestly hope you will share it with associates and send us any suggestions you might have for additional content.
Have a great summer!

This month’s “Bridging the Gap” focuses primarily on the Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST server line. We discuss a couple of case studies in which PRIMEQUEST solutions have been used to significantly reduce costs while increasing efficiency. We also present details about the thirty-three PRIMEQUEST 580 servers that are being used to create an extraordinarily powerful new supercomputer, and the use of a suite of Fujitsu server and storage products to implement an integrated information system at a major hospital. 

This issue also provides a couple of pieces about the use of legacy modernization software from Fujitsu to move from the mainframe into the Microsoft .NET environment. By moving to a .NET environment, customers are able to increase their flexibility and agility while saving on costs. 

We discuss our recently announced collaboration with Microsoft in the Microsoft Partner Solutions Center (MSPC). On the mobile side, details are provided about the exciting introduction by Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation of the first pen-enabled notebooks with solid state drives (SSDs).

The HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) conference and exhibition was held during the last week of February in New Orleans. It’s an annual affair that brings together professionals in the healthcare IT and Management Systems fields. With that in mind, this issue of “Bridging the Gap” places extra emphasis on healthcare and the important role Fujitsu products play in that vital industry. 

In this issue, you will learn about a new initiative which is designed to provide free electronic prescribing to all the physicians in America by 2010. You’ll read about how Fujitsu products have been adopted by healthcare professionals for a wide variety of solutions. You’ll also learn how Fujitsu scanners are being used to electronically archive medical records in an effort to harness the enormous amount of information that currently resides in paper form. 

Along with the healthcare-related information, this issue of “Bridging the Gap” describes how PRIMEPOWER® severs are being used to consolidate the data centers of one of the nation’s leading providers of business information and services. Additionally, a special issue of the Fujitsu Scientific & Technical Journal has recently been posted with a wide variety of articles related to Innovative Manufacturing and Engineering, including a detailed description of how Fujitsu is addressing thermal issues in its high-end servers. 

We take this time to salute all of the healthcare industry. They do a noble service for which we are all in their debt.

The goal of Virtualization is to pool processor and storage resources for on-demand use instead of using dedicated systems for individual applications. Enhanced efficiency is one of the most important benefits of this approach since better use is made of available server and storage capacity. At the same time, the IT infrastructure can be adapted to meet new requirements faster and more easily, which makes the company itself more flexible. Employing Virtualization results in better performance, management, and I/O capabilities.
